DeShawn: There’s a Rivalry; LeBron: No There Isn’t

James, speaking a few minutes afterward, again was dismissive of such talk.

"There is no rivalry. Seriously," James said. "There’ll never be a rivalry between me and DeShawn."

Now that the playoffs are well under way — Cleveland takes a 2-1 lead into Sunday’s Game 4 — neither player wants to talk about the details of their tiff. Stevenson, though, took some satisfaction when the Verizon Center crowd chanted "Ov-er-rated!" at James during Thursday’s game. [Sports Illustrated]
